19. Plantation

The northern and southern sections of the Qutb Shahi Heritage Park are to be developed as ecological zones with dense native vegetation. Towards this objective, since 2014 a mapping of all trees has been carried out.

OUTCOME:

Over 2000 saplings of 27 local varieties were procured to establish an on-site plant nursery.

300 saplings of local sturdy varieties were planted along the northern edge of the complex which otherwise was covered with garbage from the households.

The existing plants are being treated properly and parasitic plants are being removed from the site.

NEXT STEPS:

In 2015 additional planting is proposed in areas outside the central archaeological zone.
